If you're already using CFML the benefits include:
- Performance
Railo CFML is the fastest CFML engine available, allowing you to handle more requests and to serve them up more quickly. - Cost
Railo CFML is free, so you can spend your money on building your applications, not buying costly server licenses. - Flexibility
You can install Railo anywhere. No need to mess with virtualization to get the most from your processor licenses or to worry about negotiating a custom contract just to deploy to the cloud. - Innovative Features
Railo continues to add innovative features to make it the fastest, most powerful CFML engine available.
If you build projects in Java, the benefits include:
- Speed of Development
CFML tags are easier and faster than JSPs for views and CFML scripting allows for very quick development and prototyping of small to medium complexity applications. You can also run a combination of java and CFML to get the best value from your existing investments and to take advantage of existing libraries like Spring, Hibernate and JSecurity. - Ease of deployment
You can either use a scripting based approach to deploy multiple sites on Railo or you can deploy WAR files using your regular deployment processes for Java apps. - Java integration
One of our primary focuses is on making it easy for developers to use the right language for the right task. Whether you want to mix up Java and CFML or even play with Groovy, JRuby, Scala and Clojure, Railo CFML will allow you to deliver web applications more quickly that "play well" with the rest of your infrastructure.
If you're using another scripting language like PHP the benefits include:
- The power of the JVM
Java is used for enterprise applications for a reason. It's powerful, robust, performant and proven. With Railo you can get the benefits of the Java Virtual Machine for deploying your web applications without the costs of manually building all of your applications in Java. - Speed of development
CFML includes easy to use tags for quickly developing powerful web applications so you can deliver working applications more quickly. - Reliability
With features like clustering built right into Railo, you can easily create applications that will fail over when a given web server goes down. - Support for Best Practices
There is a vibrant community and support from CFML developers for best practices like frameworks (build applications more quickly, lower the learning curve and make it easier to get new developers up to speed), test automation (deliver more robust applications more quickly with less manual testing) and build automation (cut the costs of deploying and upgrading applications). We can help your team to build better applications - more cost effectively.
Whatever your background, the Railo benefits include:
- Open source
If there is a problem with the code, you can fix it without waiting for a point release or service patch. - JBoss.org
As part of the biggest family of enterprise open source projects in the world, Railo is an important part of the future of open source web development on the Java platform. - A focus on results
At Railo we're focused on helping you to deliver powerful web applications - quickly and cost effectively. We also provide a wide range of services to get you started with Railo CFML.
